Posted November 28, 200916 yr comment_5446070 Short but fun tag. Hamaguchi seemed to bring out ornery Jumbo which was a great thing. He was a wrecking machine here. I loved it when he lariated Hamaguchi in the middle of an airplane spin on Ishikawa. This wasn't a high-end match but again, I liked it enough that I want everyone to take a look.

September 3, 201015 yr comment_5455286 This is also on AJ Classics 115 Animal Hamaguchi & Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. Takashi Ishikawa & Jumbo Tsuruta (6/21/85) I haven't commented on this yet but Hamaguchi's hair is glorious here, what a fuckin helmet of hair. This really doesn't get kicking until Jumbo & Yatsu get into a slapfight getting the Budokan crowd going with Jumbo taking him down with a wakigatame then along with Ishikawa they work over Yatsu before Jumbo misses a running high knee and gets planted by a Yatsu backdrop suplex. Hamaguchi tags in and hits a big neckbreaker drop but Jumbo would fire back with a high knee and now they work over Hamaguchi with Ishikawa getting a sasorigatame with Yatsu breaking it up. All four men brawl on the floor a little before Ishikawa works FIP although Jumbo would nail Hamaguchi with a lariat as he had Ishikawa in an airplane spin then gave him a backdrop suplex. Yatsu would then dropkick Jumbo to the floor leaving Ishikawa & Animal to fight in the ring and they had a fun exchange leading to Jumbo knocking Animal off the top rope as he was going for his diving elbow drop and Ishikawa hitting Yatsu with a slingshot plancha to the floor. All four men brawl on the floor again before Ishikawa rolls in the ring and wins by countout. This was a blast and should move forward.

Cool spot with Hamaguchi giving Ishikawa an airplane spin only ofr Jumbo to come out and throw a big lariat to kill the move. Late ron, Jumbo hits a big lariat that sends the enemy flying off the top turnbuckle. Don’t blink and you will miss this match. I enjoyed the match but it was over before anything of substance could build. I don’t see this making the final cut.
